Night of Prayer in honor of our Blessed
Mother on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at
6:00 pm in the Church, celebrating the feast
day of Our Lady of Fatima. We will pray
the rosary with Good Shepherd’s 13th Day

of all, it gives us all an opportunity to pray the rosary as a parish
community.

Knights of Columbus Scholarship
The Kinderchurch Ministry is a parent participation ministry open to Good
Shepherd’s youngest parishioners – ages 18 months (by the first day of
Kinderchurch) through their Kindergarten year. * The Kinderchurch program seeks to build an enriching faith community for
the youngest members of our church. We supplement their Catholic foundation
with a meaningful religious education program through the use of age-appropriate lessons, stories, songs, and crafts while their parents attend Mass. * Kinderchurch is offered during the 9 am Mass from September through May.
* We are looking for more adult catechists to help provide this wonderful
religious experience for the children of our parish - NO teaching experience
is needed! Cash donations are welcome to
off set the cost of this event.
Please turn into the office in an envelope
marked Father Leon reception.
Thank you,
Good Shepherd Parish Ministry Leads.
Please contact Laura Wade and Angela Banbury at [email protected]
with any questions. CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD
CLOW is a parent participation ministry staffed solely by volunteers for 1st4th graders which takes place during Sunday 9am, 11am, and 5pm Masses.
Father calls up the children AFTER the Opening Prayer and we process the
children to the Parish Center for our class. The children return at the end of
the Homily so they can participate in Holy Communion. Please email clow@
gscceg.org for more information if you would like to volunteer as a Catechist
or assistant .
